Fur Trade

These podcasts cover a variety of history topics in 30 to 45 minute bytes.  As a 28-year veteran of teaching college-level history courses I have accumulated questions and requests for information on a number of topics,  Some of those come from my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as from students.  In attempting to enter the 22nd century, I am turning to the new (to me) mediums of communication.  These podcasts will serve as my "mobile classroom" to provide the requested information.  I also have a YouTube channel where I offer maps, images, and other visuals to supplement the material.I concede that history is partly fact and a great deal interpretation.  As a historian it is important to recognize the difference and to consider leading interpretations before reaching our own conclusions based on available evidence.  In none of these podcast or videos do I claim to have the last say or the only “true” interpretation.  As always, I encourage my students, listeners, and watchers, to question the information, look at the evidence, and reach your own informed conclusions.
